Floor, Basement & Mini Series

Takes a different approach, I talk my way through a project, it goes how it goes. I start by working out the transition between the dining room and kitchen. The "Problem" is that the kitchen is lower and I widened the doorway. This left a gap (hole) in the floor. The answer was to create short joists that taper down the kitchen floor. I then filled this in with a 3/4 ply to create a subfloor, this will later be covered by the finished floor later on after the kitchen gets its new vinyl planking. This is one of those projects you start not knowing exactly how you are going to complete it. It worked out fine in the end. Next, I tackled cleaning the main part of the basement, cleaning out the mess, saving some things while disposing of the rest. I also introduce a new aspect to the channel, a mini series answering the question of what I do with reclaimed wood removed from the house. I can't save it all, but the best is reserved for making furniture which is sold and funds these renovations. I'll be taking a minute or two in each video to work on a farm style dining table. I'll sell it then buy more stuff for the house....don't worry, I'm going to stay on task just want to share this side project with you. Let me know what other projects you would be interested in seeing worked into these videos in the future.
